Ildibad

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Cite This Source

Ildibad (Sometimes rendered Hildebad or Heldebadus) (d. 541) was a king of the Ostrogoths in Italy, being chosen to replace Witiges, who had been engaged in complicated schemes with Belisarius and had left Ravenna. Ildibald reigned for only about a year before being killed by a Gepid at a palace banquet. After a brief interlude under Eraric, he was succeeded by his nephew Totila.

Ildibad was actually a Visigoth, a nephew of one of the Visigothic kings in Spain.
